A brown ale with a long history, brewed since 1958 by Van Assche, then taken over by Villers and finally, in 1998, by Huyghe; originally called Vieille Villers Dubbel and tasted as such years ago. Misty brown beer with off-white foam and yeasty, sweetish profile with a subtle acidity, probably due to added lactic acid or something, estery, dryish finish. Far from being the most convincing example of the style.

(bottle) pours a deep ruby colour with a frothy beige head. aroma of heavy wax, some roasted wheat, dandelions, peaches, pears and powdered sugar. flavour is mostly hazelnuts and heavy cherries, slightly sweet, with more pears, rice and just a hint of alcohol. medium-bodied with average carbonation.
